The public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan and UDO zoning amendments had been <br />adjourned until September 4 in order to allow time for the concurrent JPA land use amendments <br />to be approved by the three local governments. Since approval has not occurred, the public <br />hearing for the Comprehensive Plan and UDO zoning amendments (which is held open in order <br />to receive the Planning Board's recommendation and any written comments submitted after the <br />oral public hearing) needs to be delayed to November 18, 2014. This should allow ample time <br />for the Towns to consider the necessary JPA land use amendments and for the County re -adopt <br />any JPA land use amendments that result from the Towns' reviews /approval (staff expects <br />some amendments will be forthcoming). <br />For information, the County Planning Board has recommended approval of the Comprehensive <br />Plan and UDO zoning text amendments. Additionally, the Planning Boards of the Towns of <br />Chapel Hill and Carrboro recommended approval of the JPA land use amendments to their <br />respective elected boards. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to continue this item. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Open the public hearing, and <br />2. Defer the hearing by adjourning it to November 18, 2014 in order to allow time for the <br />necessary JPA land use amendments to be further considered. <br />
